Poor Laurence Fishburne serving a giant cloud.
Move the goal posts? Are you for real, man? The pandemic times OBVIOUSLY come with a ton of caveats for a ton of different films, especially because certain demographics behaved different than others during those times (Families and women were way more cautious with going to the theater, which was the demographic for Cruella). That movie having strong holds and doing 200 million dollars + in that period was huge.
Having them so soon in the first F4 appearance kind of gives me desperation vibes.
I just saw this. So in the movie, we are saying Shalla-Ball is the Silver Surfer? I wonder what this means for Galactus and Surfer moving forward since there are rumors of this being an alternate universe. We will see I guess lol! But this change will def...create more work for me here I am sure lol
Not every movie in the pandemic area can be called a success simply cause the pandemic happened. Other movies still produced better numbers and more interest in the day/date model.
It's a case by case basis because not every pandemic month is the same and not every demographic behaved the same way during the pandemic and also certain films are just different than others. The ways in which the pandemic and day-and-date releases ****ed up consumer behavior during that time is way more complicated than just doing blanket statements like the ones you're doing.
I am not making blanket statements. I am just not accepting excuses for every single movie. At a certain point, you have to look over the data of that entire span and let that tell the story. The story is Cruella didn't perform as well as many other day and date releases.
They're not excuses. They are actual facts lol. It is a fact that women and families weren't going to the theaters during the pandemic, and it is also a fact Cruella had extremely good holds despite that and having a day-and-date release.
All we have to go on for Cruella is maybe it would have done XYZ. We don't have tangible grosses. Nothing concrete that shows Gillespie here makes potential billion dollar movies that warrant an investment in him over anyone else. That's the point. We can make all the excuses we want on Cruella doing what it did, but it also doesn't prove anything about the man's franchise earning potential. Which isn't the argument that he is more qualified because he made 1 blockbuster? One that can really only be argued in hypotheticals cause of the pandemic. That's the point. It isn't a boost to his resume
Either of those and I’d be so upbeat for Supergirl.Was hoping for someone like Kate Herron or Bryce Dallas Howard.
I'm torn on it. I enjoyed the first a lot, but I also feel like that particular version of the Joker is so different that it thrived on its ambiguity. Joker 2, while I'm looking forward to it, is gonna be a musical with A LOT of songs. I don't know how well it'll be received by fans, and especially, the general audience. Gaga likely won't top Robbies portrayal for me either, even though I'm sure she'll be good.
